THE CITY MARKETS.-The Official Price Current Of
the Washington Produce Exchange says: The
flour market Is without change. Demand is good
for choice samples OF wheat, dry and suitable for
milling. Corn and oats steady. Choice timothy
hay is scarce and good demand at full prices. Rye
straw in good demand The demand for butter is
active, especially for choice grades; even medium
and low grades move out very satisfactorily. Most
receipts unless shipped in refrigerator arrive
anected by the heat. Receipts OF eggs not large;
demand quiet. The loss is still very heavy, owing
to the intensely hot weather. The poultry market
turned backward on Saturday last, owing to large
daily receipts, and is just steady at quotations.
Apples in freer receipt. Choice large peaches
scarce and wanted, small neglected WatermelonS
in large arrival and lower. Fancy eating pears,
In good ORDER meet with ready sale at full value.
The only kind OF dried fruit inquired for as yet is
cherries, which scarce and will rule very high
this season. The opinion Is general that higher
prices will rule on apples and peaches than for
several years past, both for Sun-dr1ed and evapO-
rated. New potatoes not so plentiful, and select
held at higher price. Cabbage and onions steady.
